A right-hand point near Cape Byron where east swell wraps toward Clarkes Beach over 200 to 400 m. Small, a renowned learner and longboard spot; bigger, it turns intermediate to advanced.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
At The Pass, Byron Bay, tide isn't a deciding factor: the spot stays surfable across most tide states. Focus on the swell and the wind instead.
The Pass, Byron Bay is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at The Pass, Byron Bay comes broadly from West: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
